What is SpEdcamp?

SpEdcampNJ is a FREE event modeled after the Edcamp Un-Conference model. This means that any participant can facilitate a discussion! Learn more about the Edcamp model here.

The idea of SpEdcampNJ developed while founder Chris was attending another EdcampNJ event. Chris decided that special education teachers, parents, and administrators deserve to have an event that addressed the needs of the special education community.

Special Education around the country is being impacted by various challenges and changes. Professionals and parents around the country feel a need to be connected to other professionals and parents to share their knowledge and search for solutions in order to close the achievement gap and continue to do what's best for kids.
